Never Let Each Other Go

☆24☆

So first of all I'm sorry that y'all had to wait for this 2 weeks
I came back on saturday evening last week and i was so tired bc i had sm Lack of sleep while i was gone and one night i was at a bar which didn't help either soo but here it finally is!

♡Pond♡
The first thing I saw as I woke up was a white ceiling. I lay in a white bed with a mixture of blue-green covers. I saw monitors and heard them beeping next to me. Confused, I looked around thr room.
What happened??
After I found my thoughts at peace for a while, even though it still bothers me not knowing what happened, I heard a slight knock on the door. Before I could say anything, a nurse dressed in the same colour as the covers entered the room.
-"I see you're awake. How are you feeling?"
She asked while walking around the bed and checking the monitors. My thoughts started racing again.
Why is she asking it like that? What's with those monitors?
-"I don't know."
I give a plain answer.
She looked at me for a while, then nodded.
-"Well, okay. I'm sure you have lots of questions. There is someone waiting for you outside, and after the visiting hours we will explain everything else to you okay?"
She bowed, while I just stared at her, confused. She left the door open as she stepped through. Then another person stepped through the open door. He closed the door behind him as he made it into the room and slowly approached the bed. He grabbed a chair and saf down next to the head of the bed.
-"Palm. It's been so long. How are you feeling?"
Why is everyone asking me that?
I look at him in disbelief.
-"Uhm, I'm sorry. Who are you? I guess we knew each other before."
His face hardened. I saw tears collecting in his eyes.
-"What...? Palm no. You can't have forgotten me. You must remember me, Palm."
He grabbed my hand. That was the point where I couldn't bear it anymore.
-"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I remember you, Khun Nueng krub."
I told him while catching my breath. He sighed and rubbed his eyes.
-"That's not funny, Palm."
Khun Nueng let go of my hand. I grabbed it directly again.
-"I told you, I'm sorry. I just wanted to know how you were gonna react."
-"Yeah. Don't do that again. It scared me."
I nod
-"Krub."
My throat suddenly clenched. Coughing only came out just when I was about to say something and sit up.
-"Hey, take it easy. Lie back down."
Khun Nueng helped me lie back down. My mind was full of those thoughts I had since I woke up.
-"Khun Nueng, what happened?"
I look at him with curious eyes, it was unwillingly. He looks back at me, I see the sadness in his eyes.
-"Palm. You were shot."
He tells me. My eyes look for something in his. That it isn't true. That there was just a minor accident. That he's okay. That I didn't make him sad.
-"What? Why? How? Who was it?"
He holds my hand even tighter.
-"We don't know him. Thr police is still on it."
He pauses, but I can feel a certain tension in the air, as if he still wants to say something.
-"Palm, it's been 3 months. I missed you so much... really... much..."
Khun Nueng puts his head on my chest. I don't know what to do except for patting his head and telling him I was sorry over and over. I wiped his tears and kept his head on my chest.

Since I know the whole story now and talked with the nurse, I don't really feel lighter. Especially since the nurse told me I couldn't walk at the moment. Sure, I'm rolling around in a wheelchair all the time, but they told me the recovery would take a long time and there's still a long way to go before I could walk normally again. I hate being in other's care. I really do. They also said I had short-time memory loss. They weren't excactly sure of what I remember, so I'm really lucky I remember Khun Nueng.  Soon my mind'll go back to normal, but my walking won't. It takes a lot of time and patience. My first hospital night wasn't very peaceful. I couldn't really sleep and I kept thinking about if I was a burden to Khun Nueng or not. I'm glad and grateful he's by my side, but I don't want him to take care of me. I want to be able to take care of him and support him for his every path. I hope this will pass by fast.
